don't bother... you could buy a whole new car w/ the $$$$ it would cost... if you really need AWD pick up an 00 impreza or something along those lines.

It is possible, but it's not worth it unless you've got some major plans for your Lancer

I was thinkign about it you can piuck up a evolution drivtrain for about 10,000 then plan to spend abouit 6 months and 10,000 making it work and hopefully you got hookups on free machine work !

its just not worth the time i rather buy a evo9 and wait or a sti and strat with more power then all that work !

Are you talking about a base lancer? 120 HP pushing 4 wheels. Please try it cause I'd like to see it. After drivetrain loss you'll have about 80 to the wheels, maybe. I've seen evo's for $25,000 usd. Which is about what you'd spend on the conversion.

I just returned an Outlander I rented for 6 days. I never even thought to look under it, I was too busy looking in the engine bay for spare parts.
